Gujarat MBBS and BDS Admission 2026-27 —
Round 2 Choice-Filling Extended to 12 September
Update, 11 September 2026, 2:35 PM — ACPUGMEC notice: the choice-filling period for Round 2 MBBS/BDS admissions has been extended up to 10:00 AM on 12 September 2026. All candidates are advised to take special note. This is the first dated notice confirming that a Round 2 choice-filling window is live; it fixes the closing time but does not state when the window originally opened, and it carries no notice/reference number — so treat the opening date as still unconfirmed and check medadmgujarat.org directly rather than assume one. Background: Round 2 registration for candidates who skipped Round 1 ran 1–4 September, with document verification at Help Centers through 5 September. ACPUGMEC then published Round 2 category-wise merit lists — General and EWS lists, a separate NRI merit list and report, and updated Local Quota candidate lists for NHL Ahmedabad and SMIMER Surat. PwD-category merit is still being verified and has not yet been declared. Round 1 candidates who were already allotted a seat completed tuition fee payment and reporting at the Help Center through 3–5 September.
Last verified · 11 September 2026, 2:35 PM · against ACPUGMEC’s notice extending Round 2 choice-filling to 10:00 AM, 12 September 2026, and its earlier published Round 2 merit lists and Local Quota lists on medadmgujarat.ncode.in; the choice-filling window’s original opening date and notice number remain unconfirmed
The short answer. If you skipped Round 1 registration for Gujarat MBBS/BDS 2026-27, ACPUGMEC has opened a Round 2 registration window for you: online PIN purchase and registration both run 1 to 4 September 2026 (PIN purchase to 12 noon, registration to 4:00 PM) at medadmgujarat.org, followed by document verification at a Help Center from 2 to 5 September, 12:00 noon, at an appointment slot you choose yourself. The fee is ₹1,000 (non-refundable) plus a ₹10,000 refundable security deposit — ₹11,000 total, paid online during PIN purchase. NRI candidates additionally pay ₹10,000 by demand draft in favour of ACPUGMEC, payable at Gandhinagar, submitted after registration. If you already paid ₹11,000 for a PIN in Round 1 but never completed registration or document verification, you do not need to buy a new PIN — just finish registering now.
Update, 11 September, 2:35 PM. ACPUGMEC has issued a notice extending the Round 2 MBBS/BDS choice-filling period up to 10:00 AM on 12 September 2026, and has asked all candidates to take special note. This is the first dated confirmation that a Round 2 choice-filling window is running — treat the 12 September, 10:00 AM deadline as confirmed, but note the notice does not say when the window originally opened and carries no notice/reference number, so that opening date is still not independently confirmed.
Update, 8 September. That registration window has closed. ACPUGMEC has published Round 2 merit lists — General and EWS category lists, a separate NRI merit list and report, and updated Local Quota candidate lists for NHL Ahmedabad and SMIMER Surat — on medadmgujarat.ncode.in. PwD-category candidate verification is still under way and that merit list has not yet been declared.
Separately, candidates already allotted a Round 1 seat continue on their own schedule: online tuition fee payment to 3 September, 3:30 PM, and reporting with original documents at the Help Center to 5 September, 12:00 noon. Eligibility for both tracks requires a NEET UG 2026 score of 213 for Open/EWS, 194 for PwD Open/EWS, and 177 for SC, ST, SEBC and category-PwD, and government and management quota still need both Class 10 and Class 12 passed from schools in Gujarat.
Missed Round 1? —
Registration Is Open Again, 1–4 September
This is a different process from the allotment table further down this page, and it is meant for a different candidate. It is for NEET UG 2026 qualified students — from Gujarat Board, CBSE, CISCE, Cambridge or NIOS schools in Gujarat, Science stream — who did not register at all during Round 1. If that is you, here is the window ACPUGMEC has given you for admission to first-year MBBS/BDS, academic year 2026-27.
| Activity | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Online PIN purchase | 1 September 2026 | 4 September 2026, 12:00 Noon |
| Online registration | 1 September 2026 | 4 September 2026, 4:00 PM |
| Document verification & photocopy submission at Help Center | 2 September 2026 | 5 September 2026, 12:00 Noon |
What it costs, and who pays extra. The fee is ₹1,000, non-refundable, plus a ₹10,000 refundable security deposit — ₹11,000 in total, paid online while buying the PIN. NRI candidates pay an additional ₹10,000 processing fee after registering, by demand draft in favour of “ACPUGMEC” payable at Gandhinagar, submitted at the ACPUGMEC office, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar. If your goal is a Local Quota seat at Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, or SMIMER, Surat, you also need a residence certificate from that college's own Dean — ACPUGMEC's registration alone does not get you Local Quota consideration. And if you already paid ₹11,000 for a PIN during Round 1 but never got as far as completing registration or document verification, do not buy a second PIN: just log back in and finish the steps you left undone. Document verification appointments are self-selected at the time you print your registration slip, and the Help Center keeps the same hours as the rest of this process — Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 12 PM, closed Sundays and public holidays. Full details are on medadmgujarat.org.
Merit Lists Are Out,
Choice-Filling Now Extended to 10 AM, 12 Sept
Update, 11 September 2026, 2:35 PM. An ACPUGMEC notice states that the choice-filling period for the Second Round of MBBS/BDS admissions has been extended up to 10:00 AM on 12 September 2026, and asks all candidates to take special note. This is the first dated ACPUGMEC notice we have located confirming a live Round 2 choice-filling window, and the 12 September, 10:00 AM closing time can be treated as confirmed. It does not, however, state when this choice-filling window originally opened, and it carries no notice or reference number — so the opening date and formal notice number remain independently unconfirmed. Check medadmgujarat.org directly if you need the opening date.
Update, 8 September 2026. ACPUGMEC published the Round 2 merit lists on medadmgujarat.ncode.in. Out so far: the General and EWS category merit lists, a separate NRI merit list with its own report, and updated Local Quota candidate lists for Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, and SMIMER, Surat. The portal itself lists SC, ST and SEBC merit lists as categories too, alongside an NHL Local Quota list and a Not Eligible Candidate List with reasons stated. PwD-category candidates are still being verified; that merit list has not yet been declared.
Fee Payment & Reporting —
27 August to 5 September 2026
Issued by the Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Education Courses (ACPUGMEC), Government of Gujarat, Office: GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar — for all eligible candidates included in the ACPUGMEC Merit List, across Government Seats, Management Seats and NRI Seats of Medical and Dental UG courses, in Government and Self-Financed colleges, for academic year 2026-27.
| # | Activity | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Online payment of tuition fees | 27 August 2026 | 3 September 2026, 3:30 PM |
| — | *Offline payment of fees at designated branch of HDFC Bank (banking hours, working days only) | 29 August 2026, 10:30 AM | 3 September 2026, 3:30 PM |
| 3 | Reporting & original document submission at Help Center | 29 August 2026, 10:00 AM | 5 September 2026, 12:00 Noon |
Help Center hours matter here. The Help Center works Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday, 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon — it stays closed on public holidays and every Sunday. Plan your reporting date inside those hours, not around the outer 29 August–5 September window alone. ACPUGMEC's advertisement is numbered from item 2 onward in our source copy — item 1 (most likely the allotment-result declaration itself) was not visible to us, so we have not guessed at it; confirm your own allotment status directly on medadmgujarat.org before you pay any fee.
The Marks ACPUGMEC
Has Actually Published
| Course | Category | Class 12 PCB (theory + practical) | English | NEET UG 2026 qualifying score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS | Open / EWS | Pass | Pass | 213 |
| PwD (Open / EWS) | Pass | Pass | 194 | |
| SC / ST / SEBC & category-PwD | Pass | Pass | 177 | |
| BDS | Open / EWS | 50% | Pass | 213 |
| PwD (Open / EWS) | 45% | Pass | 194 | |
| SC / ST / SEBC & category-PwD | 40% | Pass | 177 |
Note the BDS row. Gujarat applies a Class 12 PCB percentage requirement to BDS that it does not apply to MBBS. A candidate who clears the NEET floor but has 46% in PCB is eligible for MBBS consideration and not for BDS in the Open category.

Gujarat's Schooling Rule Is
Stricter Than Most States
To be considered for Government Quota or Management Quota in Gujarat, a candidate must have passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from schools located in Gujarat, and must either have been born in Gujarat or hold Gujarat domicile. This is not the usual soft domicile preference that some states apply — it is a hard gate written into the admission rules, and it applies to OCI card holders too.
For a student schooled in Guwahati, Shillong, Imphal or Aizawl, that closes two of the three quotas. What remains is NRI Quota, where ACPUGMEC grants admission on inter-se merit determined by All India Overall Rank among candidates who applied for NRI seats. Following the Supreme Court judgment in Writ Petition (C) No. 891 of 2021, dated 3 February 2023, OCI card holders are eligible for NRI, Management and Government quota — but the Gujarat schooling and domicile conditions above still bind the last two.
What OEF will tell you plainly. If your family has no genuine NRI sponsor and you were not schooled in Gujarat, Gujarat is not your state this year, and we will say so before you spend a rupee on a PIN. Puducherry's national self-supporting stream, open until 6 August, and the private management quota in states that still admit out-of-state candidates are better uses of the same fortnight.

How the ACPUGMEC
Process Actually Runs
Buy the online PIN
Purchased through medadmgujarat.org. ACPUGMEC's own advice is to do this on a broadband connection, because transaction failures on weak connections are a recurring complaint. Without a PIN you cannot reach the application stage at all.
Complete the online registration
Authenticate with the PIN and enter your NEET UG 2026 and Class 12 details along with personal information. ACPUGMEC publishes a documents checklist, an instructions PDF and a procedure PDF on the UG page — read all three before starting.
Book a help-centre appointment
Document verification happens in person at a designated help centre, and you choose the date and centre yourself while printing the registration slip. ACPUGMEC publishes the help-centre list. PwD candidates additionally appear before the medical board at a listed civil hospital.
Merit list, choice filling, allotment
ACPUGMEC publishes the merit list, then runs choice filling and seat allotment across successive rounds, ending with a stray round. Candidates report physically to the allotted college for admission.
The refundable deposit
Gujarat collects a non-refundable registration fee plus a refundable security deposit of ₹10,000. The refund is processed in rounds after the cycle ends, and candidates must submit bank details in the notified window — ACPUGMEC is currently running refund Round 7 for the previous session. Deposits do get forfeited where candidates default, so read the forfeiture clause before you accept an allotment.
The Official Notices
Behind This Page
Checked most recently against an ACPUGMEC notice received 11 September 2026, 2:35 PM, extending Round 2 choice-filling to 10:00 AM, 12 September 2026, and earlier against medadmgujarat.org on 1 September 2026 for the Advertisement for Online Registration for the Second Round and the Advertisement for 1st Round of Allotment & Reporting. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves.
How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website or its own notices, most recently an ACPUGMEC notice received 11 September 2026, 2:35 PM, extending Round 2 choice-filling to 10:00 AM on 12 September 2026; before that, rechecked 8 September 2026 against the published Round 2 merit lists on medadmgujarat.ncode.in, and 1 September 2026 against the Advertisement for Online Registration for the Second Round. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score.
Questions Parents Ask Us
Partly. An ACPUGMEC notice dated 11 September 2026, 2:35 PM, states that the choice-filling period for Round 2 MBBS/BDS admissions has been extended up to 10:00 AM on 12 September 2026, and asks candidates to take special note. This is the first dated notice we have located confirming that a Round 2 choice-filling window is running, and the 12 September, 10:00 AM deadline can be treated as confirmed. What the notice does not tell you: it does not state when this choice-filling window originally opened, and it carries no notice or reference number, so the opening date is still not independently confirmed. Do not assume an opening date — check medadmgujarat.org directly, and complete your choice filling well before 10:00 AM on 12 September.
Yes. After the 1-4 September Round 2 registration window closed, ACPUGMEC published Round 2 merit lists on medadmgujarat.ncode.in — General and EWS category lists, a separate NRI merit list and report, and updated Local Quota candidate lists for Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, and SMIMER, Surat. PwD-category candidate verification is still under way and that merit list has not yet been declared. We have not located a dated notice for the choice-filling or allotment schedule that follows — check medadmgujarat.org directly rather than assume a date.
The original registration window closed 12 August 2026, but that was not the end of registration for everyone. ACPUGMEC has since opened a separate Round 2 registration window, 1 to 4 September 2026, specifically for candidates who did not register at all in Round 1. If you already registered and are on the merit list, you are past this and should be tracking the 1st Round Allotment & Reporting schedule instead.
Yes. ACPUGMEC has opened online registration for a Round 2 specifically for NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates from Gujarat Board, CBSE, CISCE, Cambridge or NIOS schools in Gujarat who did not register in Round 1. Online PIN purchase runs 1 to 4 September 2026 up to 12 noon, and online registration itself runs 1 to 4 September up to 4:00 PM, both at medadmgujarat.org. Document verification, with photocopies submitted at a Help Center, follows on 2 to 5 September up to 12 noon, and you pick your own appointment slot when you print your registration slip. The fee is Rs 1,000 (non-refundable) plus a Rs 10,000 refundable security deposit, Rs 11,000 in total, paid online at the PIN-purchase stage. NRI candidates pay an additional Rs 10,000 processing fee after registering, by demand draft in favour of ACPUGMEC payable at Gandhinagar, submitted at the ACPUGMEC office at GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar. Anyone hoping for a Local Quota seat at Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, or SMIMER, Surat, also needs a residence certificate from that college's Dean. If you already paid Rs 11,000 for a PIN in Round 1 but never finished registering or verifying documents, you do not need to buy a new PIN — just complete registration and verification now.
1st Round choice filling ran 24 to 27 August 2026 (1:00 PM), with choices displayed the same day up to 4:00 PM. ACPUGMEC has since issued its Advertisement for 1st Round of Allotment & Reporting, covering all eligible candidates on the ACPUGMEC Merit List for Government, Management and NRI seats: online tuition fee payment runs 27 August to 3 September, 3:30 PM; fees can also be paid offline at a designated HDFC Bank branch, 29 August to 3 September; and reporting with original-document submission at the Help Center runs 29 August to 5 September, 12:00 noon. The Help Center works Monday-Friday, 10 AM-4 PM, and Saturday, 10 AM-12 PM, staying closed on Sundays and public holidays. Check medadmgujarat.org frequently for what follows.
ACPUGMEC's published eligibility table for 2026-27 sets the NEET UG 2026 qualifying score at 213 for Open and EWS candidates, 194 for PwD candidates in the Open/EWS category, and 177 for SC, ST, SEBC and category-PwD candidates. For MBBS you must have passed Class 12 PCB with English. For BDS the Class 12 PCB requirement is 50% for Open/EWS, 45% for PwD Open/EWS and 40% for SC/ST/SEBC and category-PwD.
Yes, all of them. ACPUGMEC states that the entire admission process for 100% of the seats in every medical and dental undergraduate college in Gujarat — Government Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota — is conducted on merit, online, solely by the committee. No college in Gujarat admits directly. Any offer of a Gujarat seat outside medadmgujarat.org is not a real offer.
For Government and Management Quota, no. Gujarat's rules require that a candidate has passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from a school located in Gujarat, and is either born in Gujarat or holds Gujarat domicile. That closes those two quotas to a student schooled in the Northeast. NRI Quota is decided on inter-se merit by All India Overall Rank among NRI applicants, and OCI card holders are eligible following the Supreme Court judgment of 3 February 2023. In practice Gujarat is a route for NRI-sponsored candidates, not for the general out-of-state applicant — and we would rather tell you that now than after you have bought a PIN.
Separately. ACPUGMEC has stated that registration for BAMS and BHMS admission is conducted independently, as per the schedule notified by the NCISM, NCH and the AYUSH Counselling Committee, New Delhi. Do not assume your MBBS/BDS registration on medadmgujarat.org covers AYUSH courses; it does not.
